From undrafted to breakout star to the Pro Bowl. It’s been a whirlwind few years for Victor Cruz.

Cruz yesterday was selected for his first Pro Bowl, joining teammates Jason Pierre-Paul (second selection) and Chris Snee (fourth) on the 2012 NFC Pro Bowl team. Pierre-Paul was voted in as a starter, Cruz and Snee as backups.

Unlike last season, when Pierre-Paul said he much-preferred to play in the Super Bowl rather than in the Pro Bowl, it looks as if all three Giants will make the trip to Honolulu for the Jan. 27 Pro Bowl, as the Giants are on the brink of playoff elimination. Players on the Super Bowl teams do not participate in the Pro Bowl but the Giants figure to be free that week.

“I’m honored and humbled to be selected,” Cruz said. “It really is a dream come true for me. The Pro Bowl is a great individual achievement, but I know I couldn’t have been named to the Pro Bowl without the support of my teammates. Eli [Manning] is one of the great quarterbacks in the game. He has done so much for my career.’’

Snee is the first Giants offensive lineman to be voted into his fourth Pro Bowl since Hall of Famer Rosie Brown was selected to his ninth Pro Bowl in 1965.

“It’s always an honor to be selected to the Pro Bowl,” Snee said. “It doesn’t quite feel right, coming off of our last two performances, but it is an honor because you’ve earned the respect of your peers, the coaches and, of course, the fans.”

Pierre-Paul, after a dominating 2011 season, has seen a sharp decline in his production. Coming off a 16 1/2-sack season, he only has 6 1/2 this season.

“Just like last year, I would much rather not play in the game because I want to be with my team at the Super Bowl,” Pierre-Paul said, “but it’s a great honor to be selected among the best in the NFL at my position.”
